Ok. Also check /etc/inetd.conf. If you want telnet and ftp, make sure
those lines are uncommented. After editing, do a
% /etc/rc.d/init.d/inetd restart
to get inetd to re-read the file...

You should check /etc/host.deny as well. Here's what I use:
% cat /etc/hosts.deny
ALL:ALL
% cat /etc/hosts.allow
ALL EXCEPT in.telnetd: LOCAL .eecs.lehigh.edu .art.lehigh.edu
in.telnetd: ALL
portmap: LOCAL # for NFS use

Telnet worked by explicitly giving the IP#, but not the name? If so,
this could be a DNS/Bind problem.

Perhaps because it is "commented out" in /etc/inetd.conf...

There are many times ping will show results, but other services will
not work. This is because ping doesn't use TCP or UDP to find info, it
uses ICMP (it pretty much will just tell you whether the iface (e.g.
eth0) is up.
Does /sbin/ifconfig show the iface has the correct info?
